Ciudad World Discussion

I now like the beautiful Ciudad World.  I've noticed in the offical live stream of the Lovestruck pack that there's 2 Penthouses not just one.  One is a residental lot & the other is a venue.  That particular neighborhood remindes me of City Living.  I've also noticed that the 2nd neighborhood so reminds me of beautiful Tartosa.  As for the 3rd neighborhood, it's actually different, which is a nice change.😄

I feel like they didn't show off the world enough, at least for my taste. I was really really hoping that they made a walking trail in the park like they have in GwT and Snowy Escape, but instead with like autonomous  romantic interactions for couples or friendly/alone option to walk and bird watch. The world itself looks pretty though! A little confused by the bar in the park though lol. Would've been cool to make it some kind of active sweets shop instead.

I have zero interest in the theme of the new pack....but they always know how to reel me in, and that's by offering a new world. With so many buildable lots, I'll have to get it, just to destroy the new neighborhood

I would have loved that. The hiking trails have been one of my favorite additions to the Sims 4. I keep hoping for a outdoor retreat refresh just so they can add that. 

Yeah park and bar is bit of a weird combo

like its pretty but its just kind of weird to have kids stuff and sultry bar on same lot 😅

I believe its actually right in front of lounge lot the green building on the map

I believe its 13, Actually *recounts*

This is all fine if the simmer *knows* that the hotel is in his hood. But what about everyone who did not watch the trailer/stream? Or a simmer who once noticed a hotel somewhere in this world but can't recall where it was. I guess the same is an issue for the movie theatre in SS. If you don't know from videos/forum that it is there, you will probably miss it. The game should be a total experience alone, not depending on frequenting forums. I just don't understand why the map design can not include *a tiny landmark hint*. The hotel has a large roof top sign, it could easily be added to the map - either a build with such a sign object, or a map symbol. I'm not trying to argue here, lol, just would like this feature to be easier to locate for everyone. If my sims even enter the wrong hood to find it they could just a s well go back home to woohoo or rest (to save loading time).
That said, what we see in live streams are not always the final product, so there is still a chance they added something :)

Do we know if those penthouse lots are rentals or if they can be owned?

I can not tell by looking at the map the size of the lot.  The park and the other date space they showed in the game play trailer are small.  Think the bar was like 15x20.  And the park is not exactly a park lot.  The let you build on the small lot with the gazebo,  maybe it's 30x30,  but surrounding the lot,  is an enormous premade lot.  That could be an improvement if they have vendors that work on those grounds.  If you wanted to add anything you would need the T.O.O.L. mod.

I hope there are some large lots.
